Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Fill in the blanks. That guy over there ____ is wearing a green sweater is my boyfriend.

    • A.

      Who

    • B.

      Which

    Correct Answer
    A. Who
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "who" because it is used to refer to a person and is the correct pronoun to introduce the relative clause "is wearing a green sweater." This clause provides additional information about the person being referred to as "my boyfriend."

  • 2. 

    Fill in the blanks with the correct pronoun (who, that, or which).I met a girl yesterday ____ comes from Spain.

    Correct Answer
    who, Who, That, that
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "who" for the first blank and "that" for the second blank. In this sentence, we are referring to a specific girl, so we use the pronoun "who" to introduce additional information about her. The pronoun "that" is used to introduce a restrictive clause, providing essential information about the girl.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Fill in the blanks with the correct pronoun (who, that, which or nothing). For no relative pronoun, write "nothing".The cat ______ is meowing at the door is my neighbour's cat.

    Correct Answer
    that, That, Who, who
    Explanation
    The first blank should be filled with "that" because it refers to a specific cat. The second blank should be filled with "That" because it refers to the same cat mentioned before. The third blank should be filled with "Who" because it refers to the cat as a living being. The fourth blank should be filled with "who" because it refers to the cat as a living being.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Fill in the blanks with the correct pronoun (who, that, which or nothing). For no relative pronoun, write "nothing".A: Where do you want to go to eat?B: Why don't we go to the place _______ we went to last week?

    Correct Answer
    that, That, nothing, Where, where
    Explanation
    B suggests going to the place "that" they went to last week. The word "that" is used as a relative pronoun to refer back to the place. The word "That" is capitalized as it is the beginning of a new sentence. The word "nothing" is used because there is no need for a relative pronoun in the third blank. The word "Where" is used to ask about the location of the place. The word "where" is used to ask about the location of the place again in the last blank.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Read the sentence and choose the best option. "My brother who lives in New York is in a new movie." How many brothers does she have?

    • A.

      1

    • B.

      More than 1

    Correct Answer
    B. More than 1
    Explanation
    The sentence states "My brother who lives in New York is in a new movie." This implies that the speaker has more than one brother, as they specify that the brother in question lives in New York. If there was only one brother, there would be no need to specify his location. Therefore, the correct answer is "more than 1."

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Read the sentence and choose the best option. "My brother, who lives in New York, is in a new movie." How many brothers does she have?

    • A.

      1

    • B.

      More than 1

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    The sentence states "My brother" which indicates that there is only one brother. The phrase "who lives in New York" provides additional information about the brother but does not imply the existence of multiple brothers. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

      A few of the students studied.

    • D.

      Some of the students passed.

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the students studied.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "None of the students studied" because the statement "The students, who didn't study, failed the test" implies that all the students failed the test because they didn't study.

    Choose the correct option. My sister who lives in Washington is a politician.

    • B.

      I have only one sister.

    Correct Answer
    A. I have more than one sister.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I have more than one sister" because the sentence states "My sister who lives in Washington is a politician." The use of the word "sister" indicates that there is more than one sister, rather than specifying a singular sister.

    Correct Answer
    who I was kissing, that I was kissing, whom I was kissing, whom I was kissing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "whom I was kissing". This is because "whom" is the object pronoun used to refer to the girl in the sentence, and it is used after a preposition like "to" or "with". In this case, "whom" is used after the preposition "with" in the phrase "with whom I was kissing".

    Correct Answer
